Welcome to HEIZERS.org
serving christ as king
from the highlands to the harvest
OUR BURDEN
Western Europe now contains ten of the world’s most gospel-resistant people groups...rivaling the 10/40 window! Jesus deserves more worship from Europe's people and we've got to help them see His glory! Help us bring His salvation to the lost!
"I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth."
Acts 13:47
The need is urgent, and we long to see the Church rise like the Scottish thistle—RESILIENT, UNSHAKABLE, and RADIANT.
OUR CALL
In 2008, we answered God’s call to church planting in Italy. By 2017, He expanded our call to all of Western Europe through our role as Area Leaders for Europe.
Now, nearly 70 missionaries across 17 European nations are carrying heavy loads…and they need more than distant help. They need leaders on the ground, in the trenches, and in real time. That’s why we’re moving closer.
Our call hasn’t changed…but the need has grown. And with your support, we’ll be right where we’re most needed — serving, strengthening, and standing with those on the frontlines.
While our role as Area Leaders for Europe remains central, we’re just as excited to base in Scotland, joining BMW’s team in Kilmarnock to strengthen churches, support leaders, and help replant gospel roots in a land once known as the “Land of the Book.”
Two roles -- one calling!

OUR RETURN
to serve Christ as King
from the Highlands to the Harvest back in Europe!
​​
While we’ve been called to return, we cannot do it alone. We need partners like you to pray, encourage, and generously give—helping us serve and strengthen Christ’s Church across Europe.
Join us in seeing gospel-rooted, resilient churches flourish in Scotland and beyond, for this generation and the next!
Ken & Mindi Heizer served as missionaries with Biblical Ministries Worldwide in Italy from 2009 to 2016 and have been Area Leaders for Europe since 2017, overseeing nearly 70 missionaries and their families.
